I had a price for a timing belt and water pump replacement I also asked them to do further work including welding and a rear brake caliper replacement I received a full quote and that was the price I paid I am happy with the work done the staff were very honest and helpful I would recommend them to anyone as an independent garage as giving you piece of mind.

The 50,000 miles service was carried on time and on budget, with recommendations to consider new brakes pads on the front within 1500 miles and cracked tyres on the rear were noticed, consider renewal sooner rather than later, however no pressure tactics were applied and would certianly recommend them to anyone wanting a similar service.

I would definitely recommend TDL for many reasons- firstly I rang on a Friday morning and they fitted me in later the same morning! I was shown step by step the process of regenerating the air con as well as being given valuable advice regarding its use in the future. Coffee (as promised on the phone!) arrived immediately and despite arriving early for the appointment, my car went straight in (literally!) to be hooked up. Very friendly staff, family run business who operate a professional service ,with reasonable prices and even pick up and deliver your car if requested. I will certainly be calling again for other quotes and envisage I would use them again in the future with confidence! Thanks Trevor, Trudi and the team!

Hopefully our quick fire set of FAQ’s have helped answer some of your immediate questions about clutch replacement in Morpeth for Mitsubishis.

However, if you would like to learn about what is involved in the technical side of the job we have produced the following guide.

We have also included key information on how the system works, what you should look out for if the clutch is faulty as well as everything involved with replacing a clutch.

Clutch replacement is one of the most common repairs carried out by mechanics in the UK and Morpeth as the nature of the part means it will naturally degrade over time, regardless of how much care you take or precautions you put in place.

The rate of degradation will alter from car model to car model as each are designed differently with some cars having significantly superior parts.

However, the way somebody drives a Mitsubishi is a huge factor in how a clutch performs. We will go onto this in more detail further down the guide and will demonstrate what you should be doing to elongate the lifespan of your clutch.

What is a clutch?

The Clutch is the part of yourMitsubishi engine which is responsible for engaging and disengaging the power transmission.

It’s a vital part of an engine and is essentially there to connect two parts of the system that can’t make a car move unless they're connected. Clutches engage and disengage two rotating shafts which then allow your Mitsubishi to move.

When you press the clutch down and move your Mitsubishi into gear, you are connecting the two shafts and transitioning from one gear to the next.

Its an essential function which allows a car to move through gears effectively and efficiently.

Automatic cars have an in-built clutch which takes over the control of this interchange, this means that the car itself decides what gear you should be in depending on the driving conditions regardless of the driver.

What are the signs of a damaged clutch?

There are a variety of signs to look out for when it comes to an struggling clutch as the performance of your Mitsubishi will be noticeably affected as well as your ability to change gears.

Here are the most common issues which will be caused by a damaged clutch.

Slipping Clutch

Slipping is one of the most common clutch issues and can cause a drop in performance, as well as damage, if not diagnosed in time.

The things you need to watch out for are;

Your Mitsubishi struggles to move forward while moving at a low speed in a high gear.

Your Mitsubishi struggles to get up hills in a high gear

Your Mitsubishi struggles to accelerate or finds it difficult to tow a trailer

The problem with a slipping clutch is that it will only get worse as time goes on. Slippage increases the heat generated in between the two shafts and the hotter this area becomes the less able it is to maintain its grip, therefore increasing the slippage. The greater the slippage the greater the heat generated.

So it’s clear to see that this is an issue that will only get worse if left without attention.

Clutch Chatter

Chattering occurs when the clutch is being used and a grabbing or jerking can be felt in the Mitsubishi.

If you are hearing strange noises like growls or squeals, this can be another sign of a problem with a clutch, as vibrations within the part would cause such sounds.

If you hear any strange noises coming from your Mitsubishi, have it looked at immediately as a fault with your clutch could cause serious danger while you are driving.

How long will clutch replacement take?

Replacing a clutch can take as little as a few hours or as longs as a few days depending on the car and garage.

Many cars will have easy access to the clutch and so replacing the part will be straightforward, however others will be more complex and will need other parts removing before the mechanic can get to the clutch.

How much will a new clutch cost?

Once more, a new clutch will cost different amounts depending on the car. You could be paying £250 or £600 from car to car or garage to garage, that is why it is so important to get a range of quotes from garages in Morpeth.
